Win32/Cryptor,Trojan horse Agent2.GZM,Trojan horse Generic13.APIH,Win 32/Induc.A

Hi, soooo this has been going on for a while since 19/06/09 to be exact, at first I didn't know what it was so I gave up on my desktop and started to use my laptop BUT now that has crashed too... but that another story.

AVG found the infection and it is now in my virus vault but my computer is running dead slow, the virus found is a Win32/Cryptor which has now spawned into multiple areas in my system, followed by Trojan Horse Agent2.GZM and then Trojan horse Generic13.APIH, AND NOW Win32/Induc.A which was on the 19/8/09. :sad:

I do realise I have left this for ridiculously long but I now have the patience and time to try and fix it....... I think.

If anyone can help me I would be forever grateful as after this hurdle I am going to have to fix my laptop which I think could be contaminated with something similar but is alot more serious.

As for my desktop PC I am able to download and access what I like it just runs really really excruciatingly SLOW.

The operating system is Windows XP Professional.
I don't want to have to wipe my C: Drive clean and start over again but if that is the last resort then so be it.

Also, if you are checking it out, Im pretty sure that my rundll32.exe application has been changed and I have looked into what I can do but am terribly lost.

Goodluck!

Here is my HJT log:

Hi Kenny,

Quick q's.

When I did the HJT scan I fixed the three 02-BHO:(no name)........ as listed in your previous reply.
I noticed that there is another one that is called

02-BHO:(no name)- AutorunsDisabled- (no file)

Should this be FIXED aswell?


I haven't ran the other scans yet, the ESET Online Scanner link doesn't seem to be working, but I can just Google it.


Cheers

No do not fix this one "AutorunsDisabled" please.

Eset Link is working on my end:

http://www.eset.com/online-scanner

Awesome.... well the scan won't run, my internet usage is done for the month.. grrr.

Soo, I'll just have to wait.
But in the meantime my step brother was over the other day and I uninstalled AVG and he installed:

~avast! Free antivirus
~Spybot Search and Destroy

Are they ok to use?

Both are good. AVG has gone south in the past year or so. IMO...

Lets try another scanner:

Please run the F-Secure Online Scanner

Note: You must use Internet Explorer for this scan!

• Accept the License Agreement.
  
• Once the ActiveX installs click Full System Scan
  
• Once the download completes, the scan will begin automatically.
  
• The scan will take some time to finish, so please be patient.
  
• When the scan completes, click the Automatic cleaning (recommended) button.
  
• Click the Show Report button and copy and paste the entire report in your next reply.
  

You still there?
